Honesty time: Are these Happy Tweets Mondays still capturing your attention and affecting you positively?!

I started reposting positive/happy/motivating tweets over a year ago to kick my butt into high gear on dreaded Monday mornings. I realize that I haven’t kept up my end of the bargain as of late, and I feel like not posting them and having them in front of me has affected me in a negative way. When I don’t post, I feel like there is at least a little something missing. Like my Mondays fly by and I get nothing done.

Is there a more diverse way that you would like to be receiving inspiration and happiness? Know that I am developing so much more down the pipeline, and I would love to hear your thoughts!

Other than that, I hope you can find your tenacity within these posts, and that it inspires you to pass the positive vibes along to others!

I read a post on Facebook today about how to treat every day like the best day, and not just live for the weekends. Goodness, that will take a little bit of practice – especially on Mondays – so for now, let’s stick with the Happy Tweets to revv you up in your afternoon slump!

Good Afternoon, and welcome back to Happy Tweets Monday, Happy People!

I am back in business after my honeymoon hiatus, and couldn’t be happier to spread some long-awaited love and momentum to everyone (including myself). Because, let’s face it: Mondays are hard to get through. Especially after a 2 week trip to Europe and beyond – but that’s for another post!

Enjoy!

The following tweet should look familiar to you. I posted it in the last Happy Tweets Monday post 2 weeks ago. But, I could post it every day for the rest of my life. Good reminder!

Whether your weekend entailed relaxing, moving furniture, photo shoots, Disney On Ice, or all of the above (like me!), I hope it was FABULOUS! Now that we are back for the week, it’s time for a little motivation and happiness to pump us up for all of the work, running around, and PROGRESS we are going to make, right? Below, find some Happy Tweets that just so happen to deal with change, progress, and improvement! Because every day is a new day, and every day moves you forward in life, so why not work on always being your best self?

I know it is Tuesday, but it is my workweek Monday due to this past weekend’s wedding festivities.

Yes, Timmykins and I tied the knot, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Though I did get a little cranky with him last evening, so who knows if he is feeling the same…

🙂

Since I am starting back at work after a few days leave, I need a little motivation to back me up. And I think finding it in the form of Happy Tweets is the best way for the motivation to come to me. Why? Because they are short, sweet, memorable mantras that I can repeat to myself throughout the day. For confidence, motivation, and just pure happiness. Because, isn’t that something we ALL need at the start of a work week?

It’s so crazy to me knowing that I have instilled a positive routine for myself in Happy Tweets Monday that I never get sick of or lapse on. Sure, sometimes the Happy Tweets won’t get posted until later in the week, but they are always there, week in and week out.

I utilize Twitter as a source of inspiration for myself, retweeting as I see fit, and re-sharing with my readers and myself as I see appropriate. Because, sometimes we need an outside source of happiness, motivation, a kick in the butt, even if ever so tiny. This is my tiny, regular, contribution to myself and the world to do all of the above, and I hope that you enjoy it!

It is always what happens when time gets away from me on Mondays, or motivation is lacking. The good thing is, it is less and less the latter these days, as inspiration to move forward towards my dreams is at an all time high. I mean, what can be more empowering than planning and physically setting out one of the biggest changes/steps/dreams of your life? For me, at the moment, it is the wedding to my Prince Charming, my Timmykins. But it’s also dreaming of our life. Setting the foundation of financial stability as well as planning the tiny steps to reach our dreams of travel, family, and potential business ownership: together.

What do Happy Tweets motivate YOU toward? What are your goals for this upcoming week? Small steps add up to big strides! Enjoy!

Never ever EVER in my life have I EVER thought I would utilize the word “mantra” when it comes to my life, my practices, or at all! It always seemed too hippyish for my taste. But, here I am, working on my happiness and centeredness. I am becoming one with the earth…

Oh goodness me oh my! What I really want to share with you is that, for the very first time yesterday, I came up with a mantra and said it out loud. In public. To myself.

Do I sound slightly crazy? Yes. And I am fine with that. I have begun to rise before the sun to allow myself a solid hour and a half to two hours at the gym in the mornings. I am working to up my cardio, whether I like it or not! And since I am getting it done first thing in the morning, I am not burnt out from a long day at work + my brother’s basketball games + Timmykin’s hockey games + whatever else might come my way on any given day.

Towards the end of my lift yesterday morning, I was dead. I had exhausted myself after each sequence, and just didn’t want to complete the last handful of moves. So, I stopped, looked out the window at the sunrise, closed my eyes, and said the following during a series of deep breaths in the exhale:

I will practice mindfulness
I will practice kindness
I will practice patience
I will practice self-control
I will practice productivity
I will practice positivity
I will keep a happy disposition
I will release negative thoughts
I will release negative energy
I will forever move towards my dreams and reach my full potential

After a few moments with my eyes closed, I was back to work, and harder than before!

I feel like we all need that little breather. Maybe it’s to plan out the day (I am HUGE on writing to-do lists), or to pray for a loved one. Maybe it’s that morning cup of tea, or a glass of deep red wine with your feet up in silence, or dancing around your living room to big band music (with or without a significant other).

I love all of those moments, but I especially enjoyed this one with myself this morning. I encourage you all to either find a mantra that you can repeat on a regular basis to center you when your emotions are awry, or to motivate you to take on the day.

It was invigorating, to say the least. And took me to a happy place amidst struggle.
